Very productive training
I’ve successfully completed the online Level 3 Food Hygiene training and found it highly informative and relevant to real-world food safety operations. The course provided a strong understanding of HACCP principles, food safety hazards, legal responsibilities, and how to implement effective hygiene management systems in a supervisory role. It also reinforced the importance of leading by example and maintaining high standards in every part of the food preparation and service process. I feel more confident in supervising food handlers and ensuring compliance with food safety regulations.

Excellent courses on offer - wide choice of courses to get certificates in.
Reading through - everything was explained very well. I was updating my Allergen Certificate for my workplace. I know everything I go through in the Virtual College course is right up to date. You can take your time to complete the course - all of the courses offered do not need to be completed in one Whole session. Excellent courses on offer.
